-------
Danny, as nightingale: *making horrific noise bombs* Nightingale: if i use this audio of the sun, reverse it, reverse it again, then layer it on top of these reconstructed dinosaur growls, and then drop the pitch, i can almost replicate the noise of a leviathan in the deep end of the zone :) Nightingale: some circles call this "psychological" warfare Nightingale: i call it a highly effective brown note

Once Bruce's gimmick villains start popping up: Danny, gripping Bruce by the shoulders: Buzz. Buzz. listen to me. listen. Bruce: Danny: monologues? fuckin' wORK. you gotta let 'em monologue.

Bruce: you incited a prison riot? Danny: you assaulted a police officer? Bruce: Danny: Bruce, trying not to smile: Bruce: actually, i assaulted three Danny, failing at trying not to smile: and i incited several
------------
Danny talking about cujo: —he’s a good dog! Bruce: im sensing a ‘but’ here Danny: ....you’re right there is a ‘but’ Bruce: hm. Danny: but, you know how ghosts have powers? Bruce: im assuming the dog has ghost powers. Danny: m. Mhm. he can become the size of a bus Bruce: … a h

Nightingale: I cant kick people in the face anymore thanks to the bone-eating poison Superman: the what- Nightingale: so i do the next best thing, and enact psychological warfare on Bat's enemies instead.

jaime turning women down constantly more bc he is very monogamous and in love with someone else right now for the first time and is also kinda scared of actually having sex with someone other than cersei is sm better to me than “i respect the kg vows of chastity so intensely rn actually because i changed into a good and serious person” or whatever lol
#i truly dgaf about that bffr jaime dude#like its a stupid vow that says nothing about u as a person lmfao#him in the bath with pia thinking of brienne like u r not fooling anybody honestly#like i truly do think its more copium and not being honest with himself tbfh#like he had a rationalization when pia came into his bed in asos too but then it was purely ‘i only love cers i would never’#and with cat it was so funny when he bluffing and was like uh i cant marry bc of my vows but i could still service u😉😉#he would have pissed himself if he was called on that bluff but only bc he would be cheating on cers and have sex with another woman#man that fucked his twins in a sept next to his sons dead body the moment he returned caring about chastity vows#his development isnt really about keeping every vow ever when most of it is fraudery anyway#like pls he is not keeping his vow to his king rn really 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#i think the vows and respecting them has a deeper meaning thats the whole point which ones do u keep and prioritize and why#like weve been thru this 80x being a real vowhead is not what makes u a good person 😭#deleting ur individuality and personal life to be an honorpillhead lol#the vow to cat has meaning the elite bodyguard vow to never fuck has zero meaning 😭#he was ready to break the no marriage vow w cers pls#im not saying this bc of a shipper endgame in mind i find volcel jaime hilarious its just i dont like it as proof of his development#like ill be real guys sex positive warrior gurm is not pushing the idea that keeping ur chastity vows is what honor is about#like i get that he wants to be better and he is figuring out what that really means but

Okay rereading tgcf now and the Xianle arc is genuinely making me frustrated for Qi Rong. He's terrible, obviously, but like. Xie Lian says it himself:

Traumatized from being abused by his father from birth. Ostrazised by all the nobles for it and bullied by the kids. Never disciplined by the King and Queen bc the Queen felt bad for him. His only friend and apparently the only one to expect anything from him was his perfect cousin, beloved by all, who was like... Two years his senior?
Genuinely the only person who made any effort to actually raise him after his mother's death and not just appease him when he had very understandable behavioural issues (bc CHILDHOOD PTSD) was maybe ten at most when he came to the palace?
Oh also his mother fucking died protecting his perfect cousin's mother. Leaving Qi Rong with further trauma and the Queen with further guilt about punishing her nephew
Also this

#tgcf#qi rong#xie lian#xie lian's mother#idk I've just been thinking a lot about qi rong lately#you go you funky horrible ghost break those cycles of abuse by loving your own cheap son in your own weird way#like obviously i dont blame the xies for not getting him therapy or smth bc therapy didn't even exist#but dear LORD that child needed structure and safety and they SHOULD have been able to provide that much

Petition to give Aragorn, son of Arathorn, a fucking break
Like you've spent the past ??? years living in the wild, defending a bunch of people who don't even know you exist/hate you + occasionally doing the bidding of a wizard, but it's fine. And then your wizard is like 'I need you to take two hobbits to Rivendell'. It's actually four hobbits but alright. You stop them getting killed on a half dozen occasions. It's fine.
You get to Rivendell. Great. E-dog has the ring, but also that ring now needs to go to Mt Doom so it can get destroyed, so now you're heading out with The Wizard, the four hobbits, a guy who lowkey resents you for being king, a dwarf and Legolas (they won't stop bickering). You trek up a mountain pass that YOU DON'T EVEN END UP USING, but when that doesn't work out so you go through The Mines That Everyone Says Not To Go Through, MEET A BALROG (you left Elf McBalrog-Killer at home) and THE WIZARD who's supposed to be IN CHARGE DIES.
Okay so now you're in charge, but luckily you've got your old buddy Boromir to help with leadership and decision making-
WRONG!!!!
Okay so Boromir is dead, you've lost all of the hobbits, and by extension the ring ffs. You spend the next several days running trying to find these fucking hobbits, barely stop Gimli and Legolas (they're getting along now but at what cost) from starting a fight with the first people of Rohan you meet, who tell you the hobbits are probs dead.
And then you remember the wizard guy? The one who was supposed to be in charge?? The one who you thought was dead???
He's fine, actually.
You, an inhumanly levelheaded person, do not toss the nearest heavy object at him.
Wizard is like we're all going to talk to the king of Rohan, so it's time to get moving again. You go to Rohan, get like maybe 2 days break, and then you go to Isengard so Your Wizard can go chat shit to Another Wizard and
Oh shit that's the hobbits
They're also fine fyi, they've spent the past several days chilling with some tree people
Then you run into your people, who you haven't seen in ??? years, including your brother, and they're like 'yeah you need to go raise the undead army that dwells in a place called The Paths of the Dead', which as you know, is exactly as bucolic as the name would suggest.
You carry the fuck on riding, lead your undead army to war, then jump on a ship to go fight in another battle, where your brother (separated for ??? years, only just saw again for less than a week) DIES.
AND THEN you (no sleep or food several days, your brother (separated for ??? years, only just saw again for less than a week) just died) have to go heal a bunch of people, but not like in official king capacity because the former steward was a bit crazy and tried to kill the current steward (barely alive) and you don't want to put anyone's hackles up
AND THEN it's time to lead ANOTHER army to war
Did you think we were done with battles yet?? Did you??? You fool of a Took???
You're also going to war with lowkey Satan and there's like 99.9% chance you'll die. You haven't slept in an actual bed since Rivendell. You have probably got 20 hours sleep cumulatively over the past 6 months. But it's fine.
One of the hobbits nearly dies.
You get back from war, spend the next few weeks healing people, and then you get to be king. Did I mention all of this happens in approximately one year???
I would have rioted, personally
#original post#lotr shitpost#aragorn#aragorn son of arathorn#lotr#lord of the rings#me and my friends make a lot of jokes about torturing ocs#but i honestly dont think any of us can live up to this#give aragorn a fucking break 2k25

coming out as boring or whatever but i must admit. i don't actually find boomer-sitcom-esque "i hate my wife"/"my partner is annoying and naggy"/"its cute and quirky to shit on my partner" jokes funny even if you make them gay. sorry. but its my truth.
#rimi talks#i just find that so mean-spirited lmao like ???#and i DO have best friends who i tease and poke at a lot but not in this kind of way. like. man#if the relationship ur writing is supposed to be antagonistic and not entirely like. healthy? thats one thing#but if character A just keeps insulting character B even if they dont mean it. and theyre supposed to be best friends/lovers/whatever#sorry i do not actually find this cute or quirky or funny or endearing i just think that character A is an asshole#and okay. breaking my vague mode a bit. this is about tim drake why do people always characterize him as being a fucking ass to his friends#he loves them how many times does he need to go IM NOT BATMAN I HAVE FRIENDS for you people to comprehend that he loves them#and he's not so emotionally stunted that he can't express to people that he cares about them without insulting them what are you DOINGgGggG#like tim is not going to call kon and bart names by the time theyre besties. be for fucking real. read yj98 read robin 93#dont speak to me or my son ever again. whatever. tim sweetie im sorry people dont characterize you correctly literally ever for some reason#i dont know what wizard cursed you in this way tim. very sorry it happened though

i think about splinter walking in on the aftermath of caged lungs a lot

#canary continuity#rottmnt#like#pov: you are splinter. you have spent the past few months feeling Off#theres this odd air in your home that you cant place and some distance from your sons again#but you trust their independence and you tend to wane in and out again already#and theyve all been encouraging you to go out there and get a social life!!#even before the curse you dont know about yet theyve been nothing but supportive#maybe a bit pushy lately. but you think theyre just happy for you#teenagers are rebellious. youre sure theyll use your absence for shenanigans but thats a part of being a teen#so you go for a night out.#its a break from the odd tension youve felt#you come home feeling relaxed. lighter. youre smiling to yourself as you walk back into your home#for a moment its quiet and you can just breathe in the comfortable silence#and then you smell blood. not the faint clinging tang of it youd smelled for a few weeks and dismissed. FRESH blood#your veins chill with panic. dread prickles down your spine. you run towards the smell#and then you hear your oldest sons SCREAMING.#both of them dont scream like donnie and mikey do. they SHOUT a lot. they dont SCREAM#they dont scream like their souls are being torn out of their chest. not like that#(for a moment you freeze. and all you can think about is torn flesh and the snap of bones. cheering. blood caked across your bruised fists.#and then the panic hits you at once and you BOLT#and you walk into the culmination of fifteen years of your careless mistakes.#and nothing is ever the same again

“we’re doing another groundbreaking storyline with batman fighting his greatest enemy, the joker-” pack it up.
#i said what i said kill that motherfucker#he’s boring and overhyped and needs to be used sparingly#at this point every fuckin time he shows up i honest to god think it makes the writing for batman worse#because it seems like truly none of the writers seem to know what to do with him#you can only bring him back and act like bruce not killing him is an interesting moral debate so much before it actively starts corroding#idk. this was mostly spurred on by hush 2. i just. literally every time they don’t kill him and then surprise suprise!#he’s still the embodiment of human evil. shocker. it makes me want to claw my eyes out#because it gets hard as a reader who really likes the base empathy of batman trying to save his villains to apply that to the joker#it just gets FRUSTRATING because he just can’t be saved; it’s not the same as like mr freeze or ivy or man bat etc#the way batman calls his rogues BY THEIR NAMES to humanize them if we have lost writers understanding why we have LOST THE PLOTTTTT#every time a writer makes batman a guy who punches the mentally ill and also his kids an angel loses their wings#and i get a migraine#BRING BACK HIS EMPATHY YOU FUCKIN ASSHOLES#like i can categorically say the second he abuses his kids no matter what run it’s in i can’t help but discount it#STOP HITTING JASON. JUST. PLEASE FUCKING STOP#to say it drives me up the wall is not enough that’s his SON i am going to crash OUTT#and like he hits dick too sometimes and i just. uuughhhhhh#i don’t even need to say it’s another thing entirely for him to fucking shoot jason in the face#it’s just so. RAGGHHHUUGHHH#such a fucking…i don’t even have the words#a bastardization of everything he is#if batman cannot comfort a crying child HE. IS. NOT. BATMAN.#anyways! the joker is boring i need a competent writer back for bruce stop making babs batgirl give duke PLS a run give cass a run#give jason a run give steph a run break up dickbabs and let them stand alone and DONT BUTCHER ANY OF THEIR CHARACTERS#also stop sanitizing tim make him messy again make steph and cass gay and give jason his own storyline where he does magic shit its so funn#like he’d fit with something like the recent moon knight run; absolutely fucks super fun. something like that! im spitballing don't quote m#batman#batfam#comics#dc comics

ok look no matter what, i think ill always be obsessed with dl-6. i know, its kinda overused at this point, but the whole thing is so amazing
like,, miles obviously didn’t know he was innocent, but gregory didnt either. when they channeled him he said it was the bailiff (forgot his name srry) even though there was no proof, because he wanted to protect his son. and the result of a child convinced he is guilty for the death of his dad, who even after death tried to find a way to reassure him he was innocent??? just- the concept of this relationship is fascinating, and honestly has so much potential.
and then you add von karma, and the fact he was not only the murderer of the father but the adopter of the son??? just makes everything gets better (worse)
dl-6 will forever live in my head and in my heart bcs the overwhelming guilt at least two of the three must have felt!! (depends on your headcannons about manfred ofc, maybe he was slightly guilty or smth) the psychological impact and the aftermath of it? amazing. maybe its not perfectly written, nothing is, but its fascinating and makes me want to dissect all three’s brains to see the effects this would have caused.
#ace attorney#miles edgeworth#manfred von karma#gregory edgeworth#dl 6#dl 6 incident#look yeah this is so much longer than my normal posts but i need to post this#the hyperfixation is coming back#and im losing both the battles and the war#i rlly wanna study these three i need to understand the effects this would have on the mind omg#plus just the whole:#you kill a father and adopt his only son#is just xkhsxkxmuzk#and then you add the whole ‘miles is a fey’ possibility and it gets SO MUCH BETTER#(read: worse)#BCS THEN ITS NOT ONLY THE FATHER#if manfred had done it (w)right the edgeworth bloodline would be OVER#(that we know of)#but if miles was a fey then he wouldn’t have just killed a father and a son#he would have killed a father and a brother#and with the fey’s luck mia would die#so would misty#AND THEN MAYA KZSHJZMSHXJNJ#someone make an au or smth i cant write#i need the combined angst of miles/maya realizing this with the anger and the desperation and all the good stuff#srry from the break from silly posting#and sorry for any moots who dont want to see this

I think my favorite part about Boba's daddy issues is the fact that they aren't your traditional flavor of daddy issues
Like
"Oh my dad never loved me" or abusive, or anything to that degree
Like on all accounts Jango loved him and did his best. Some of his methods are a little unorthodox but such is life when you're a war vet with PTSD that doesn't have a healthy coping mechanism besides having a son. No no no. Boba's daddy issues are that he simply is his father and he will never escape that shadow. (Well there's Din who just flat out doesn't know. But my point is there)
He is his father and he will never be the man his father was and isn't that the kicker. You know how Robert Irwin's life revolves around everybody and their mother feeling as though they need to include his father in the conversation whenever it pertains to him in the slightest?
Jango Fett was the blue print and Boba is simply his copy and I cannot imagine hearing about your dead father every time a fellow bounty hunter opened their mouth the second you stepped into a room. At least until Boba got fed up and pulled a blaster on the poor bastard and promptly shut him up for the moment.
And as fun as it is to imagine Jango in the aftermath shaking his head as his child inevitably falls down the very rabbit hole that got himself killed. But, that sentiment aside, I cannot imagine a moment Jango isn't proud of that boy and Boba simply cannot see that. Boba is in no way perfect and Jango was also the blue print for that, but Jango will be damned to feel ashamed of his kid for making the same mistakes under zero guidance. Jango's fucked up, and likewise his child is as well but that's his boy, his pride and joy.
And I don't think Boba's knows that. Most people didn't know his father. They knew Jango Fett the bounty hunter. They knew Jango Fett the Jedi killer. They knew a man, mostly ruthless, that hunted his prey with an expressionless face that waited until the right moment to strike.
And thats not to say that's all Jango was. But who was going to tell Boba that? That the man's hands were as gentle as they were calloused and that despite his dark unassuming eyes that dared one to speak against him, he was a family man at the end of the day and although all the family he had were long since dead he carried their remembrance with a guilt like no other and he loved his boy.
But a 10 year olds memory is a fickle thing. And when ones face is tilted towards the light it's so easy to be blinded by it.
Jango was never cruel, but his hands have left their stain no matter how many times he's washed them and when the only people left alive to speak your name are the hunters you gnashed teeth with and the child you left orphaned despite the promise that things would be different this time around it's too easy for the truth to fall between the cracks.
Because while Jaster would have beamed down at Boba with pride and Myles and Silas would have lifted that boy high above their heads and recounted tales upon tales of what trouble his father had dragged them along for, and Zam had brushed his fair back behind his ears and read him stories and left him books at his doorstep, Aurra Sing was not as kind.
And while she wretched alcohol away from too small hands she had just as easily belittled and abandoned him in the same breath. And while Hondo has described Jango as an honorable man, what good did that tell a boy who had been thrust into prison just a few hours later.
Because whether they'd told Boba his father was a too gentle bastard or a man that striked fear into the hearts of whoever heard his name, he was an unobtainable goal and Boba was a cheap imitation.
And while he rose against the ranks, and learned to strike fear into all who opposed him then learned to love above all else, there's not a soul alive to tell him that his father would be proud of the man he'd become.
And maybe at long last he can sleep at night, because what good is a dead man's approval anyway? But he will never know that at the end of the day, through the shadow and the haze of blurred vision Jango loved him above all else, everything else be damned.
#star wars#jango fett#boba fett#rambles#uhm i was more than content to let this set in the dms of me and a friend but they said to post it and yeah okay#who am i to deny the people of tumblr the insane takes i write down at 6:30 in the morning after only being awake for an hour#*holding boba in my hands* no one understands him the way i understand him#thats mostly a joke...#also this take is specifically about Jango's treatment towards Boba and not the clones as a whole im not touching that y'all#but im gonna kill on the hill that jango fett loved his son oh my god#also unpopular opinion but i loved the book of boba fett#its has its questionable moments sure but to me its about breaking the cycle and becoming his own person and#guys i could make so many damn posts about him you dont understand 😭#im gonna stop rambling now yall im losing it enjoy this

Homecoming
Chapter 1/? -> Clashings
Word count -> 10,745
Summary -> The year is 2008, right at the tail end of the presidential elections. On November 7th, a blue-skied Wednesday, the brutalised body of a woman is discovered at 16:28 in the rotten alley of a run down bureau of Queens, beat to death by an unknown assailant.
Tony Stark catches wind of Spider-Man on the scene, which wouldn’t typically be that strange hadn’t Spider-Man been actively threatening the responding officers and refusing entry to the homicide scene — webbing their guns to the musty walls after one had raised their pistol at him.
Naturally, Tony forcibly involves himself in Spider-Man’s little crusade and finds more than he’s bargained for. Might as well get to know the kid while he’s at it.
Or, the fic where Tony’s repression breaks down, Peter gains an ally, and they learn how to live with their collaboration-turned-genuine-bond thing. They’ll get there, eventually.
Or, me finally writing the murder mystery fanfic I’ve wanted to write for so long and deciding to project my political anxieties onto Tony and Peter by having them play detective. Irondad!
#Me when I dont update about my current WIPs and immediately start writing another#THAT I SHALL FINISH#the jayvik fic is in my files I just havent touched it but it is almost finished!#I just got sick of it so im writing this as a break#my writing#fanfiction#ao3#mcu#marvel#iron dad#iron man#spider son#peter parker#spiderman#found family

one day i'll post my fic and you can finally witness this monster of a playlist that fuels my insanity
#but for now. i write notes about electrical service box grounding (suffering)#im literally motivated to get Ahead with my courseload so i can write + draw im going insane not being able to do anything creatively#it was a mistake signing on for 5 self-driven courses in a semester btw. just in case anyone was wondering.#if youre considering it that's the devil speaking#or your business partner who wants you to be able to work sooner i suppose#anyway the dennis playlist i have posted in the past is a decoy this is the real one#i refuse to have overlap and i prioritize this one lol#i have a super secret charden playlist that i can't have overlap with too but thats not important.#i dont think anybody will see That one....... its for me........#north dakota fic playlist is crazy because i'm like holy shit this song is perfect what the hell (wrote the fic)#my brain and music have a symbiotic relationship in that i am inspired by songs and then the direction the fic takes also opens up new musi#considering a minor rewrite bc i like the picture painted by a song if i match up with lyrics#also lowkey highkey how vicky works as well i iron out details while sorting thru music#it usually helps to inspire me and broaden my ambitions a little more than i would normally go for#i think north dakota fic has spun into this big web rather than this very focused thesis Because i've got songs about multiple relationship#ie. thinking about mandy and dennis' arrangement. boundaries and feelings (not romantic or sexual. something else.)#it's precisely because of their history that dennis is distant and gives her more space than is necessary in every possible way#it's not out of respect for her or this odd sort of truce they have for their kid's sake#it's like. if i let you any closer i'm going to run. but god do i wish i could. when you Already know so much. it'd be so easy.#dennis enjoys domesticity. so he can't enjoy anything about being here. he's punishing himself and he's here for his son Only#sleeping on the couch or in a hotel instead of in the bedroom because he could get comfortable sleeping with mandy#they cant afford a bigger apartment and she's fine with it. he knows this. but Fuck No.#dennis' weakness... sleeping With someone. (no i will Never stop thinking about maureen spooning him in the 6x02 script. fucking lorddd)#he craves casual intimacy with her in the same way he craves it with mac. and he could. but she knows him. (he could Let her know him.)#and she sees this in him and Offers freely. offers him help. offers the bare minimum. and he can't have that. it's compassion. it's pity.#it's her seeing someone who is desperate to break open the shell that encases him but knowing it'd do horrible things if she did it for him#it's not even a matter of pride. it's about relinquishing control. he's So out of his element and has no hope of finding a foothold here#this is a charden fic btw. this is a charden fic where mandy is his partner. in this bizarre queerplatonic lavender marriage ass way#she's literally just his friend. dennis doesn't have any of those.#i thoroughly enjoy like. the contrast of her to mac and charlie and also the simple fact that dennis is insane
